Medical marijuana dispensaries have been deemed essential during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic because they sell medicine. And many states are also allowing for adult-use marijuana sales to continue.

Just as liquor stores are being deemed essential throughout states across America, some states are also allowing recreational marijuana dispensaries to remain open, The Motley Fool reported.

Almost every state in the nation has implemented a “stay-at-home” order to keep residents from spreading the virus. As of now, April 30 is the last day for most states’ at-home lockdowns. It is presumed that all medical and recreational dispensaries will remain open during the entire lockdown period.
